hey,
i was driving home from work today in my vxss, and my low coolant level light went on. When i got home i looked under the car and there was coolant coming from the back of the engine somewhere. i couldnt see any leaks under the bonnet. i cant have a proper look cause its getting too late.
whats at the back of the engine that water could be leaking from?
cheers

easiest way is to pressurize the system.under pressure it will leak out & you will see where it leaks from.
you will need a coolant pressure tester or make one yourself from an old radiator cap,an air line & 12v compressor(you dont wanta overpressurize your system,heap big mess if you do:)
